Mr. Snell , altar reitningtj the fact Jthat tins petition w ts entirely out of order , said that one would suppose from the petition that the railroad companies of Xebiaska wtre chiritable institutions. He thought the re- duc.ion of one cent per mile rn branch rotds having little traffic could make no difference Nearly every member had bwn elected on the prouii'9 oi railroid Initiation and now wag ths time for action.

WASHINGTON NRVT6. THE SWAIM OOCKT MABTIAL. Special telegram to THE BEE. WASHIKGIOJ ? , January 27. The court mar tial in the Swaim case ere still deliberating , not having reached any conclusion yet. Mem bers of the court refuse to talk about it to outsiders either to deny or affirm the correct ness of any of the rumors vfioat a to their news. The fact that no conclusion has yet been reached is generally regarded among army officers as indicating that tbe court is divided , and that no unanimous conclusion is to be looked for. Opinions differ as to what the verdict will be , but in case of an acquittal , no doubt ii entertained bat that the court will be called upon to try Swaim noon new charges , which hare ben formulated at the war de partment. Some of Swaim's opponents are aprrehensire that if he ii found guilty the president and attorney-general will be so slow in reviewing the evidence at to delay the action until the Dew administration tomes into power. In w hi she vent it is claimed that President Cleveland would appoint Gen. Horatio King , of Brooklyn , judge advocate general. Tms story is in circulation among army officers and is based upon the rapposi tion that Swaim is to be dismissed There it an exciting rumor there this after noon and from what seems to be excellent authority , that a plot to BLOW CP THE CAT1TOL BUILDING has been discussed and is being investigated. The details of the story are that a woman of reliability employed as a .translator at the stits department made tbe discovery & day or two before the London explosion and com municated it to a member of congress. He , after consultation with his friends , decided to lay i before tbe stats department , and yester day did so The matter 5s be-in ? investigated by ths department. Only few peorle he-e have any knowledge of it , one or two nenators and a few members of the house having besn informed the intention was to keep tbe matv ter a profound sscrfct until tba investigation " " * ' was ended. - ' , * The iTonte postponed until Kriddy the consideration of tbe resolution calling on the secretary of state for info mation as to whether zny _ citizen oi the "United Stites wa concerned in bringing about tbe London explosions. While no iote was taken that would show the feeling of the member * toward the resolution , there -was kn expression of an opinion that tbe resolution as referred will not bs reported b cfe to the house. One of a different character , howe\ , may be reported. TO EE KETOETEI ) EAVOIUBLT.

A good shaic of them had tempered tbeir trades dump the last few days so as to discount the effect of an antici pated decrease in the visible supply of wheat of about 500,000 bushels.

Under the depressing influ ence cf an increase in the amount in sight tbe price declined to S-JJc , afterward recoveiing to Wfc , where it closad a 1 o'clock.
